* 2.6.35 series: .4 and .6 boot successfully, .8 and .10 fail;
* 2.6.36 series: -rc2 boots successfully, .1 fails;
* 2.6.37 series: -rc4 fails.

So it's probably a commit to the mainline tree which was picked
by 2.6.35 maintainer to the stable tree (probably it was CC'ed)
cause this.

Does passing nolapic or acpi=off cures the issue?

IIRC, I tested at least one of these, without improvement.
I'll test again tonight, when I can physically access the
computer.

None of nolapic, acpi=off, nolapic acpi=off enables 2.6.35.8 to boot
on my ASUS F3Jv-AS022P.
The kernel line is
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda9 nomce vga=791 nomodeset
I've attached the 2.6.35.6 config.

looks like you've bisected as far as:
2.6.35.6 good
2.6.35.8 bad

can you try 2.6.35.7 and continue on to find which specific patch
in .stable broke your machine?
